Translumbar catheterization of the IVC is a safe and effective way in patients with thrombosed central venous access.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:The paired hemodialysis catheters were inserted into the inferior vena cava (IVC) via translumbar approach in a 48-year-old man for lack of other suitable access.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The catheter tip was thrombosed 2 months after the procedure.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Translumbar catheterization of the IVC is a safe and effective way in patients with thrombosed central venous access.
The paired hemodialysis catheters were inserted into the inferior vena cava (IVC) via translumbar approach in a 48-year-old man for lack of other suitable access. The catheter tip was thrombosed 2 months after the procedure. After local streptokinase infusion, control venogram showed resolution of the thrombus. Translumbar catheterization of the IVC is a safe and effective way in patients with thrombosed central venous access.
